  • Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chopped leeks and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the leeks soften, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium, add the lemon juice, and stir until the liquid evaporates, about 1 minute.
  • Add the heavy cream and let it reduce for another 2 minutes.
  • Let it cool slightly and transfer the mixture to a blender.
  • Beat until a smooth-textured mixture forms.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the leek remnants.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix in a bowl the chopped almonds, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place the flour on another plate.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and coat in flour.
  • Brush one side of the salmon with the beaten egg.
  • Dredge the side brushed with beaten egg in the chopped almonds.
  • Place the salmon on a plate with the almond side up.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the salmon with the almond side down and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes until the center is opaque.
  • Repeat this with the remaining salmon, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  • Serve the salmon fillets with the prepared lemon sauce.
